QDomDocument::setContent() returns true despite XML being invalid

[Jits]

I am not sure, if only a CDATA like in you case is valid XML... Nevertheless I guess you expect a certain XML string, so have a look at XML Schema Validation Example in the docs, which allows you a more specific test.

Thanks for the reply! My XML knowledge is rudimentary at best, but I believe there are many different schemas we'll be using (this little app is for in-house testing) so I'm starting to wonder if I should just forget about the validation and hope that the users will check their XML syntax as I'm really struggling to make this work.

What I don't understand is that the parsing to DOM doesn't return any errors...ever.Shouldn't there be complaints if there are, e.g. missing brackets?
